As the Biden administration rolled out $5B in funding over five years to help states fund public charging infrastructure, states like New York and California set 2035 as the target year for all new auto sales to be zero-emission vehicles.

Illinois set its own ambitious goal of getting 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2030. Now, multifamily operators are hustling to get robust EV charging infrastructure in place in Chicago and across the country as consumer demand, a government push and incentives to switch to greener vehicles swiftly make it a necessity rather than a nice-to-have.
